Nervous Patients

Many people have a phobia about going to the dentist. At Oakleigh Dental Practice, our trained dental and healthcare professionals will provide all the support we can to keep you comfortable and anxiety-free during your visit.

We have experience in handling nervous patients and will exercise patience and compassion to help you get beyond your fears so you can receive the dental care that you deserve.

We will address your concerns and answer all your questions. We will also work at a pace that is comfortable for you.

You can utilise several different strategies to lessen your anxiety:

• Follow a de-stress ritual while in the waiting room, such as listening to music or reading.
• Avoid caffeine, drinks, and sugar.
• Leave plenty of time before and after for the appointment.
• Ensure it is not on a day or at a time that might mean you could feel rushed or in a hurry to get back to work or go elsewhere.

You can also call us and make an appointment to stop by the practice beforehand and get more details on your procedure.
